Yeah.

I'm watching one the Harry Potter films I haven't seen before. It's pretty silly.

It's not exactly holding you in rapt attention, obviously.

Apologies if posted earlier, but sad news. The sports presenter most of us grew up with has died: David Coleman.

Bless him. Fondly remember him for World Cup, Olympics and Question of Sport coverage from my youth.

 

[fatletiss]

They think its all over. It is now.

Irreplaceable.

He was excellent, although I am sure you know that wasn't one of his quotes, and Kenneth wouldn't have minded it being used for Mr Coleman.

Not to mention the Colemanballs books that seemed all the rage in the late 80s as a Xmas gift! A great broadcaster and journalist.

Yes of course, the Colemanballs books were always a good giggle. He just had such a good toe for commentating.

My favourite David Coleman comment is undoubtedly contained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_U5S5onzd0

McCalliog, to Stokes, who's onside... 1-0..!

Southampton Go Mad..!

Unforgettable.

Yes I was aware but I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to say. It just seemed right to me.

I agree, quite fitting.

I'm enjoying it.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Absolutely. Best referee in Europe, Clive Thomas said so, and he actually looks it too anyway if you freeze the action. It was close though.

Just you and Mrs Q I think.

Just you and Mrs Q I think.

Et moi.

Et moi.

Ah it's finished now
